Unesco appeals for help as ancient sites face being flooded

Guardian Unlimited: Dam is threat to Iran's heritage</a>

"More than 100 of Iran's potentially most important but least examined archaeological sites, including fringes of Pasargadae, the city built by King Cyrus the Great, will be flooded in the next two years according to the UN, which appealed yesterday to international scientists to try to record what they can."
